Liberal Initiative considers the country is taken over by a majority of "stallers"

RTP Notícias14 September 2026 at 14:00

The Liberal Initiative held the first day of their Parliamentary Sessions, an event that brought together their deputies and leaders to discuss political and legislative issues. During this occasion, the leader of the liberal bench used critical language directed at the main opposition parties and the government.

The leader of the Liberal Initiative accused the PSD, Chega and PS parties of being a majority of "stallers" that prevents the country from moving forward with necessary reforms. According to the liberal party, these political forces have been blocking structural changes that Portugal needs to develop.

The accusation comes in the context of the Parliamentary Sessions, an internal party event that serves to align positions and prepare the acting of liberal deputies. This criticism of PSD, Chega and PS reflects the position of the Liberal Initiative as an opposition party that distinguishes itself both from the left and from traditional right.

The liberals position themselves as an alternative that, in their view, is willing to implement the reforms they consider essential, differentiating themselves from the conduct they attribute to the remaining political parties represented in parliament.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers follow this debate because it reveals the political tensions between parties and the positioning of the Liberal Initiative as a reformist force. This criticism of the main political forces may influence public discourse and citizens' electoral choices.

São Pedro do Sul Wants to Join Government Pilot Project for Wild Boar Control

The municipality of São Pedro do Sul formally asked the Minister of Agriculture to join the Government's pilot project for wild boar control, arguing that it already has a consolidated municipal response with 14 hunting associations financially supported. In 2026, the municipality co-financed each entity with amounts between 500 and 3,000 euros for hunting actions, hunting zone management, and protection of agricultural crops. The mayor, Pedro Mouro, and Councilor Sofia Neves argue that the municipality should not be excluded from a national project with the same objectives it already pursues locally, also requesting a working meeting with the Ministry and ICNF to learn the selection criteria for the territories.
